General Information

It is possible to attach a custom domain to your uCoz website, e.g. mysite.com, mysite.net etc., for FREE.

uCoz gives the possibility of full domain management (creation of subdomains, e-mail accounts etc. if a domain is attached by Method 2);
you will be able to create domain-based e-mails (e.g. admin@mysite.com );
you can buy a custom domain at uCoz Domains or any other domain registrar;
you'll be able to register your website in directories which prohibit registration of free websites;
you'll be able to enter banner exchange networks (or advertising companies) where only paid domains are allowed;
with a custom domain users will never lose your website, even if you change the hosting service, the website URL will remain the same;
with a custom domain search engines will give you a higher place in search results.

Domain Attachment FAQ

Question: How can I create a subdomain?

Answer: Please see the following guide: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-435-6436-16-1218803195

Question: Can I attach two domains to my website?

Answer: No, it is not possible.

Question: Can I change the ucoz domain, e.g.: mysite.ucoz.co.uk to mysiteEtc.ucoz.co.uk. Is this allowed and how?

Answer: No, once you have chosen a domain name you cannot change it, you can only create a new website.

Question: How do i setup my uCoz web page in my own domain? I did try but failed. I can see this error message:

The domain djcaner.biz has been parked but not yet attached to the account.
Domain has incorrect set of name servers: ns1.hostavrupa.net, ns2.hostavrupa.net
The following list of the name servers must be applied: ns1.ucoz.net, ns2.ucoz.net

Answer: The system gives you the answer: You must change the name servers in the domain control panel (your account on the website where you registered the domain).

1. How to Attach a Domain by Method 2: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18149-1
2. How to Attach a Domain by Method 3: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/54-18150-1

What's the difference between Method 2 and Method 3?

When you use Method 2, your new domain is hosted at uCoz servers. If you use Method 3 - you just change the domain name (to be more precise you just get one more name for your site because it will be accessible by both names - the new one and the old one) but your domain remains hosted at another registrar's servers. So the difference is in the place where your new domain is hosted - either at uCoz or not.

Mark-ucoz-co-uk, that is just the average time it takes to activate the domain its not exact refresh the page and if its still there wait some more.

No, I mean why is the zone of my attached domain .co.cc or cc.co? when in Sunny's tutorial it shows the zone as .com?

My tutorial is just an example. If you attach a .com domain then it will have a .com zone, if you attached a co.cc domain as in my tutorial then you will have a co.cc zone. If you want a .com domain, you need to buy it and then do similar steps but in your .com domain Control Panel.

Nope. You need to buy it. You can get a cheap .com domain at http://www.namecheap.com/

Kness, .com domains are not free, and you do not need a tutorial to buy one, it's easy. Just go to any website that sells domains, like Godaddy for example.

And I will fix the tutorial to avoid misunderstandings.

shadowslash, it is possible to use your own DNS servers But you need to attach domain by means of "Method 3. Attach existing domain name without transferring the domain to uCoz servers"

Natashko, yes, I did managed to do that. Instead of parking the domain name, I created an A-record on my domain registrar's end and set the value to the IP that uCoz gave me. smile

rogi, about changing .domain.rs to Doman.rs is possible but you need to find an existing domain like that and buy it , uCoz will allow transferring of a domain (of any level) to your site , you only need to find a good domain registrar to buy the domain you want.

rogi, If you have created a subdomain SUBDOMAIN.DOMAN.rs it means that you can access it only via http://SUBDOMAIN.DOMAN.rs/. But if you create WWW.SUBDOMAIN.DOMAN.rs you will be able to access it both via http://WWW.SUBDOMAIN.DOMAN.rs and http://SUBDOMAIN.DOMAN.rs
